Chapter 373: Rebuke
Because Du Juan was already pregnant for four months and was inconvenient to walk around in the car, and Zhang Qing couldn't be separated because of Mrs. Lu's sudden illness, so on the day that Zhu Ning, the lord of Chenliu County, went to Meng's house, he had to accept the two Xiaowu and Baoxia who came over specially and went to Meng's house by car.
The house is still the old house, the people are still the old people, and the white cloth funeral sheds used to hold funerals have been removed, but Zhu Ning watched coldly, but he always felt that the Meng family had a more cold atmosphere, and there were many fresh faces. Especially looking at the girl beside Meng Min, she refused to speak easily, until she took Meng Min's hand when she said goodbye at the second door, and then she sighed deeply.
"It's empty to say anything at the moment, take advantage of your filial piety for the past three years, and discipline your younger brothers well. As long as they become talented one day, the burden of your eldest sister will be able to be put down. ”
Meng Min felt that Zhu Ning squeezed his hand hard, and his heart was clear. Even if she didn't understand the difficulties of the world and the sinister hearts of people in the past, she went through such a trip, and no matter how dull she was, she could grasp the truth. After nodding heavily, she felt Cui Mo beside her gently pull her sleeve, and she didn't say anything after all.
Bao Xia followed Zhang Qing often, and he didn't have a chance to speak, so he just told Meng Min to take care of his body when he was leaving. And Xiao Wu has gradually understood these things now, looking at the situation is not right, after all, he still didn't say anything to wait for Miss to come to see you after she gave birth safely, and so on, just said that let Meng Min try the few tonic prescriptions he brought.
After saying goodbye for a while, Zhu Ning and the others were led away by the housekeeper, and Meng Min stood in place for a while before turning around and returning to his courtyard. Cuimo opened the curtain, she bent over the threshold, and saw that there was no one in the room, which was very different from the situation when the room was full of several mothers and girls when she was just entertaining, and her brows furrowed slightly.
"Miss, it's not that I deliberately stopped you from talking to the county lord, it's really because the two mothers behind me ......"
Meng Min turned around, glanced at the cramped Cui Mo, and said with a wry smile: "I know you are for my good." I was almost confused at that time, even if I didn't think about my family, I had to think about the county lord. It's hard enough for her to come to see me at this time. There are all kinds of people in the family today, and whatever I say here, tomorrow others will know it clearly. Although I sent it once last time, they didn't dare to go too far, but this kind of big thing will definitely be taken care of. ”
Cui Mo nodded, feeling relieved. She only stayed in the palace for only two years, but everything she saw completely shattered her illusions about the rich and noble, and her younger brother, who was only a few months old, was forced to give his life because the slaves and maids of the palace were not allowed to ask for a doctor casually, and the mother lost her son and was recruited into the inner mansion as a nurse, and since then she has not been able to see her father. She herself has to face countless ill-intentioned eyes, and every day she wants to escape from that place. So, although her parents still stayed in the Anyang Palace, she was severely admonished by the King of Anyang before leaving, but she cared more about her mother's words.
"The fourth lady of the Meng family is a good person, and I can't repay that kindness, so you can't be sorry for her."
Because the county lord Zhai's car is too conspicuous, Zhu Ning has never used it since he entered Beijing, and now he uses an ordinary green mantle car in and out. Today, in order not to alarm others, she even only chose a guard with good martial arts skills as a coachman, and the other entourages did not bring it. After leaving Meng's house, she sent Bao Xia back first, and then got into the car with Xiao Wu.
The carriage drove slowly for a while, and she suddenly sighed: "There are some things I really can't say there, looking at the situation of the Meng family, King Zhao is and wary of Lord Meng, this is not a good sign, if he is smart, he should find a way to resign or transfer as soon as possible after cleaning up the Changshan guards, otherwise I don't know what it will be like in the future." ”
"In the Meng family, I can't even speak freely, it's really breathless."
With Du Juan as the master, although Xiao Wu rarely takes national affairs to heart, she couldn't help but instinctively mumble when she thought that the Meng family was now weirdly tight up and down. It wasn't until she heard Zhu Ning say that now the Zongren Mansion and the Master of Ceremonies have once again made a big show to choose her honor guests, and the list of forty-two people has been listed, that she was shocked.
"Since there are so many to choose from, do you have a fancy for the county lord?"
"Although there are a lot of noble children, but those are just a full number, and the ones that I, the county lord, can pick are the Jishi of the Hanlin Academy and the prisoner of the country. But the former has studied hard for decades just for the future, and it is beneficial and harmless to marry me, the county lord; The latter may be able to pick and choose...... I'm really not interested in it now, so I'll go to your house and ask your young lady to help me with the details, her vision is more accurate than mine. ”
Although he was talking about his life's events, Zhu Ning was indifferent. With the sound of the wheel, her thoughts flew out even more. Before she died, Wang Guifei begged the emperor for two things, one was to exempt dozens of people from the funeral of the entire Xiuchun Pavilion, so she asked these eunuchs and palace maids who thought they were going to die to be grateful to Dade; the second is to let the emperor give her a wishful husband; But there was no mention of the rest of the Wang family at all. For this kind-hearted concubine, she is naturally extremely grateful, but she knows that the so-called wishful thinking is delusional.
In the heavenly family, how can there be wishful thinking?
casually opened the curtain next to her, and saw that one side of this alley was full of rows of official corridor houses, and she couldn't help but think of the rumors of the heavenly treasury before-although this was not the business of the celebrant supervisor, but the insatiable Huang Yan was filling his own pocket. You know, that old eunuch offended the prince fiercely, what's the use of asking for so much money? At this moment, she caught a glimpse of two people looking around in front of a house not far away, and after being stunned for a moment, she snorted softly.
"Stop!"
The carriage stopped abruptly, and the little five inside came back to his senses. At this time, Zhu Ning opened a crack in the curtain in front of her and snorted at her: "Do you recognize, are these the two little guys who followed Zhang Yue?" ”
At this mention, Xiao Wu hurriedly stepped forward. After just one glance, she nodded vigorously: "That's right, it's Lian Sheng and Lian Hu, they follow their uncle out every day." It's almost noon, what are they doing here? It's still sneaky, it's definitely not a good thing, let's go down and have a look! ”
"There are four horses in total, even if you add the two of them, as well as Zhang Yue, there is one more person in it." Zhu Ning frowned and looked at it twice, thinking about it in his heart, but he didn't want to do much, so he smiled at the moment, "Maybe Zhang Yue accompanied his friends here to find someone, it's none of our business, forget it, let's catch the car!" ”
However, as soon as the words fell, Xiao Wu, who had been refusing to take his eyes away, suddenly shouted: "The person came out, it was my uncle and ...... Gentleman? ”
Although he said just now that he didn't have to be nosy, when he heard that it was Zhang Chao, Zhu Ning was stunned. Looking far away in the direction of Xiao Wu's fingers, she saw Zhang Chao and Zhang Yue standing in front of the door, and there was a woman in silver and red clothes in front of them. When she saw the woman stepping forward to arrange Zhang Chao's clothes intimately, she couldn't help but be surprised, and her brows, which had already been stretched, were completely tightened. However, at this moment, Xiao Wu next to him jumped out of the car.
"Uncle!"
When Zhang Chao met Zhang Yue at the door of his house last evening, he learned that he was not on duty today, so he tried his best to talk to Zhang Yue, and pulled the person out early this morning. What makes him happy is that today's Feng Ying is extremely soft and petty, treating people and things without saying anything, and also revealing a kind of generous lady's demeanor. Although Zhang Yue's attitude has always been indifferent, he feels that it is not a big trouble to explain this third brother, and at this time he has already landed on his heart. However, when he heard the sudden call and saw the person who came forward angrily, he was stunned.
"Little Five!"
Zhang Yue saw Xiao Wu's willow eyebrows upside down and knew that it was not good. Although he thought that he didn't do anything to be sorry for people, it was always wrong to be pulled out by Zhang Chao for such a trip. Sure enough, after Xiao Wu took three steps and two steps up, he first slashed at him and Zhang Chao with a knife-like gaze, and then stared at the woman tightly.
Feng Ying deliberately dressed up today, wearing a silver-red crepe shirt and a white silk skirt below, lightly sweeping her eyebrows and lightly applying vermilion powder, deliberately covering up the atmosphere of wind and dust, but she made herself look a few years younger. Because she had seen Zhang Yue, but Zhang Yue had never seen her, she was not afraid that her identity would be revealed, but she didn't expect to suddenly kill another group of people halfway. Hearing that Zhang Yue called this pretty girl Xiao Wu, although she couldn't figure out the identity of the other party, she showed more and more pitiful posture.
Thinking of the intimate gesture between Zhang Chao and this woman just now, Xiao Wu only felt full of fire. After all, the Zhang family has a deep affection for Li Yun, who is good at being a person and treating others generously. If it were someone else, he would always remember Zhang Chao's identity, but Xiao Wu had a charcoal temperament to say something, and immediately sneered at Zhang Chao: "Young Master, who is she, why don't you tell the family?" ”
Although Zhang Chao had never dealt with Xiao Wuduo, he knew that this was not his own girl, so it was not good to put out the score of the eldest young master at this time, so he had to say: "I originally wanted to tell Ah Yun ...... after a while."
At this moment, Zhang Yue saw the carriage parked not far away slowly coming. Through the curtain of the car lifted, he saw the person inside, and he was stunned for a moment. Sure enough, when the carriage stopped, Zhu Ning jumped down neatly from above.
"After a while? You mean that when she has a body, you can walk through the door openly? ”
Zhu Ning, who had just stood firm, glared at Zhang Chao coldly, and reprimanded him with a sneer: "You know the temper of your ancestor, if you know about this kind of thing, how can you tolerate it?" If something bad happens to you, your grandson is disobedient and unfilial! If the children of the family do such an inconsequential thing, how do you explain to your mother and your daughter-in-law? After only two years of marriage, he raised an outer room...... The Zhang family has never been so promising! ”
